Abstract
THIS is a text-book written along very different lines from the majority of books used as introductions to the study of botany. The work gives the impression that its author has not considered college and examination syllabuses, but has attempted to deal with botany as an indispensable subject of general education. It must be acknowledged that he has largely succeeded in showing that plant life has been throughout history, and still is, closely interwoven with human life.
